WWE Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion

There's always something going on Superstars that catches people's attention and a few topics pop up, so it shouldn't hurt to make an actual thread for this great weekly wrestling show on WWE.COM (formerly WGN America).

Some thoughts on the 5/19 episode:


- Hayes and Kidd's relationship gets interesting. Is this the end already, or was it all just tough love? Really looking forward to everything this angle brings. Why they aren't doing this on the actual show baffles me.

- When Hawkins and Ryder came out, it looked and felt as if they were never separated in the first place: such a natural duo. Hawkins eating the Cobra was very disappointing (though he sold it like a champ, as always). Why was the one team with even that slight momentum and relevance NOT the winner (especially without any post-match shenanigans)?

- Main event was AWESOME. Drew knows the psychological game better than a lot and is the most underrated in-ring maestro right now. I could watch him go all day long. It's a disgrace not to have him on tv and build him up.

WCW Saturday Night Live is still on the air? Just kidding. That's just the kind of vibe I've always gotten from this show, where it features mostly good to great matches with a lot of the stupid shit cut out.

Kane & Koslov on Superstars?

:(
Koslov/McIntyre appeals to me. Mainly because McIntyre is great, but Koslov presents an interesting match-up for him and isn't a terrible babyface.

Ryder in a match is a good thing. Tatsu/Chavo could be really good, too.

JTG's managing Tyson Kidd this week. Who thinks JTG is gone once NXT season ends? The Tyson Kidd manager joke is losing its effect already.
Terrible angle. It's going nowhere and only further proving how little they think of Kidd. He looks like a bitch who can't hold his own. The fact that they've gone from Hayes to JTG only makes it worse. And yes, JTG is a goner, as is Kidd by this rate.

I'm REALLY looking forward to this week's episode, in particular the Ryder match. He's going to be astronomically over, it'll be stupendous.

That said, the whole card looks solid, even if the presence of Kane is confusing. I hope it's not a full time thing. And JTG? Didn't he turn face last week? After turning heel? I'm confused. I don't even know what the hell he does anymore. I always preferred Shad anyway.

Zack Ryder vs Primo
Yoshi Tatsu vs Chavo Guerrero

Two matches I'm looking forward to and I never look forward to Superstars, well rarely.

re: Official General Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

I really want to watch but can't because it isn't on tv here in the UK and for some retarded reason I can't watch it on wwe's website because I don't live in the right country. :cuss:

Long Island was on FIRE for Ryder. WWWYKI bro.

Yeah WWE ribbed Ryder by not showing this on Raw but they're not too cruel actually. Ryder got a promo and a long (in WWE TV terms) match in front of his hometown. We'll see if Ryder's going to remain face next week on Superstars I guess.

Check out the first match only if you lack time...



Other thoughts:
- Drew McIntyre -> From the Chosen One to appearing on Superstars as the Great American Night-meh. Can that gimmick rise above the US title? At least he has some sense of ring psychology but everything else isn't too good.
- Chavo used the Dai Bosou! That wheel kick was sick too.
- It's hard for me to take Yoshi Tatsu too seriously after watching so much Japanese Dragon Gate wrestling...
- JTG sucks. Kidd got decimated in the last stretch of the match. Imagine if JTG would be Kidd's permanent manager? Yucks.

re: Official General Superstars Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

I can't help but feel two things:

1) I'm not impressed by Ryder as a performer. The way he comes out, the way he talks, his facial expressions, it's too over the top. I also think there's perhaps too much pressure on him now.

2) This would have been a great way to get Ryder over on RAW. He would have gotten the same reaction, if not better, and it would've made him look relevant to the TV viewers.

I prefer him in a comedy match like he had two or three weeks ago against Santino who carried him in the match.

What I didn't like was that his moves against Primo was so unnatural to my eyes, didn't come as natural and easy like the good wrestlers make it seem.
I much prefer Santino who's top at comedy inside the ring and who's a very good in-ring worker.

Ryder did seem a little off his game in that match. Believe me, the kid can go, but last night he had to be under a ton of pressure. Don't make an opinion just yet. Look up some of his other Superstars matches.

Marked out seeing THE BIG O and Zack's Dad in a Morrison shirt.

you may be right as he was not very fluid in his moves like he was too tense.
Even the simple clotheline to Primo who was in the cords didn't look right.

Ryder's still young, only 25/26, time is on his side for him to develop in the ring. Perhaps when he will be polished by the time he gets his push. I don't find too many things wrong with Ryder in-ring actually. But maybe he was in an unfamiliar face role, which might have led to awkwardness y'all perceived?

Yeah as Tarfu said maybe check out his other matches, I personally recommend Ryder vs Bourne (better) and Ryder vs D H Smith (good)

tbh I haven't seen a better match on raw over last few months, than this Ryder v Primo match. It had everything...

Notice how Zack's elbow pads slip to become wrist pads, and then he even loses one. Who else can do that? WWWYKI

Drew McIntyre's promo was great! Generated some decent heat and it made me laugh!

McIntyre: *points at fan* ok, were you chosen by your boss to be the future of his company?

Fan: ..well I, I

McIntyre: LIAR!
